What are You Going to Do About 1t :?

We suggested week or two since
that the people of McMinnville in
vite the next annual conference of
the Methodist church to meet here.
Mr.. Crawford and the delegates from
here will leave next Tuesday to at
tend conference, which meets at Gal
latin. Conference won't come here
without an invitation, and the del
egates from here won't extend the in
vitation unless heartily encouraged
by the people of McMinnville. Our
town could not possibly advertise
itselfin better way than by secur-
ing and Hospitality entertaining this
body. tFia1p 10 2al 9AI T taH

A Beautiful Stranger.

A party out strolling on the river
bluff above town Sunday afternoon
saw a little snake which was a per-
feet beauty in coloring. Along the
back it was bright, soft green, grow
ing lighter around the sides till it
blended into g milk white on the
under side. 1t was about two feet
long, and very little larger than a
lead pencil in the center of the body.

The Matchless Decker Bros. Pianos,

DIR. G. 7. Stainback has just pur-
chased a magnificent Decker Bros
piano from d. H. Baldwin & Co.,

beautiful instrument with marvellous
sweetness and purity of tone, COM
bined with rare brilliancy and power.
Mr.. King will remain in our town

to buy pianos or organs would do
well to see him on the subject. He is
stopping at the Warren House. .aa

Timetable for Cooking.

Onions, medium size, one hour.
Green corn, twenty to twenty-five min
utes
Peas and asparagus, twenty to twenty
five minutes.
Potatoes, half an hour, unless small,
when rather less
Cabbage and caulihower, twenty-five
minutes TO half an hour
Carrots and turnips, forty-five minutes
when young one hour in winter.
Lima beans, if young, half an hour; old,
forty TO forty-tive minutes.
Beets, one hour in summer; one hour
and 4 half, or even two hours, if large, in
winter
String beans, if slit or sliced slantwise
and thin, twenty-five minutes; if only
snapped across, forty minutes.
All vegetables to 90 into fast boiling
water, to be quickly brought to the boiling
point again, not left to steep in the hot
water before boiling, which toughens them
and destroys color and flavor.
This timetable must always be regulated
by the hour at which the meat will be
done, SAYS Good Housekeeping If the meat
should have to wait five minutes for the
vegetables there will be a loss of punctu-
ality, but the dinner will not be damaged ;
but if the vegetables are done, and wait for
the meat, your dinner viii certainly be
much the worse. Yet so general is the
custom of overlooking vegetables, or put
ting them TO cook III a haphazard way
somewhere about the time, that many peo-
pie do not recognize the damage. They
would very quickly see the superiority of
vegetables just cooked the right time, but
would attribute it to some superiority of
the article itself-that they are fresher and
finer, not knowing that the finest and
freshest, improperly cooked, are little bet
ter than the poor ones.

In 1886 Virginia elected six Republican
Congressman and three Democratic. and
the total vote left the Democracy in a
minority OF about 2l,000 in the State.

South is not so reliably "solid now as it

In Massachusetts last year, despite his
wealth and liberal expenditure of money,
Governor Amos was elected by n plurality
of 5000 only. Republican States which
for years rolled up their party majorities of
from 10000 to 100000 are now glad to
elect Republican candidates by slender
pluralities. And this year Rhode Island
elects Democratic Governor for the first
time since the organization of the Republi-

that the rock-ribbed Republican States are

position as they used to be?
At the same time Indiana, which gave
its electoral vote to Mr. Cleveland by g.

Starving a Jury in old.p Times

Jurymen are better off in these times
than in the good old days when it was the
law to endeavor to sta1ve them into 4
verdict. 1t is bad enough now to be put
to loss OF time and money, with little Or
inadequate recompense, without being
starved or fined into the bargain. In the
early part Of the reign of Henry VIII,
Lord Chief Justice Reed tried an action
when on circuit in which the Jury were
locked up, but before giving their verdict
had eaten and drank, which they all con-
fessed. This being reported to the Judge
he fined them each heavily and took their
verdict. In Hilary term, Sixth Henry
Will, the case came up before the full
Court OF Queens Bench on a Joint motion
to set aside the verdict on the ground of
informality of trial, the jury having eaten
when they should have tasted, and next
remit the fines under the peculiar circum-
stances Of the case. The jury averred
that they had made up their minds in the
case before they ate, and had returned into
Court with verdict, but, finding the
Lord Chief Justice had run out to see a
fray" and not knowing when he might
come back, they had refreshments. The
Court confirmed both the verdict and the
fines In "Dyer's Reports" a case is
reported OF a jury who retired to consider
their verdict, and when they came back
the baiiiif' informed the Judge that some
of them (Which he could not depose) had
been feeding while locked up. Both
bailiif and jury were sworn, and the
pockets Of the latter were examined
when it appeared that they all had about
them pippins,", of which "some of them
confessed they had eaten, and the Others
SAID they had not" All were severely
reprimanded, and those who had eaten
were fined l2s. each, and those who had
not eaten were fined Is. each "for that
